Bottom post of the previous page:
There is nothing that engineering has that would be related to this other than basic tools (which you go to cargo for and they should be doing plenty of as it is) or some spare circuit parts for Airlock or APCs, both of which come from cargo's lathe too. When the spares in engineering should stay where they are. So why being beside engineering doesn't make sense to me when the office should be equidistant from Cargo/R&D, as that is who they work with. You get new parts from R&D when needed/upgrades, and basics/supplies from cargo. Instead of bugging R&D, who usually are busy anyway, you swing by this office, ask the dude, and he'll get it later if he doesn't already have it. You could say it is similar to the QM, but the QM seems to fuck around more than deal with the gadget/tool side of the lathe.The job is not an integral part of things running, but an electrician-type job has been a long time needed imo given size of the station, few number of engineers that seem very often busy as it is, and the massive powernet.
